    1st review

    The Wii is extremely fun to play both for me and my kids. The revolutionary way they defined the motion controlled play style was ingenious, and brings out some hilarious moments. This was one of the best console purchases I have made for the family.

    The Nintendo Wii deserves every ounce of recognition it gets. I mean, it brings back a host of great memories to hundreds of millions of old school Nintendo fans and offers an abundant amount of value to the new generation of gamers around the globe!

    Though the Nintendo Wii does have some very small and insignificant drawbacks, Those drawbacks don't even come close to measuring up to the many benefits that this console has to offer!

    Who ever is curious about the Nintendo Wii won't be disappointed when they try one out. That being said, Theres something for every kind of gamer in the Nintendo Wii's arsenal !

    I love my Wii. It's such a simple and fun console. True, it's a little cutesy at times, but it's wonderful for multi-player games that the entire family can enjoy.

    The Wii is probably the best gaming system Nintendo has come up with since the original NES.

    The system is fun to play - I really like the motion sensing controllers - but the games I wouldn't rate too highly - when they release more worthwhile games then I'll change my rating to 5 stars.... for now I give it 4

    This is great for having friends/family over, but one problem still, I can't get my hands on one.

    Just got it two days ago and it actually gives you a workout. I like the gameplay with the remotes and the graphics, I also like the Mii feature.

    Nintendo still has the best game selection and their fun and you can enjoy time with others. Come on over the past ten years Nintendo has still hanged on even though the game tern has changed a little. You’ll see it all come back to the one who has the biggest line of games around that’s why it is so hard to make games Nintendo has all the rights to the formats not the game it self. Cannot bet the price, plus have you seen the new hand held with a web cam and picture taking.

    This is the first video game that had my heart pounding from the workout I got. Boxing was indredibly draining. Most games you sit on the couch like a lump of lard and never move. With this game we have to move the coffee table out of the way and lock away the animals to prepare for the festivities.

    Of course, the graphics tend to be more cartoonish than the other consoles out there and it can be hard to get the remote in just exactly where you need it to be. The upside is you burn off 500 calories playing it over and over trying to master the thing.

    This game saves a ton on gym equipment and membership!

    I was very impressed with the sensitivity and versatility of the remote controllers. I did not expect this system to work as well as it does. Plus, the games are a blast to play as a family. Finally a video game console my wife will play.

    Very addictive. I love the Wii Sports game that comes with it! I wish I could bowl as well in reality! It's great for getting the family to play together on these cold winter days.

    The Wii is good, but the cost of the required extras is the downfall for the system. For a PS3 or an XBox 360 the high price covers the system and majority of controllers. The Wii starts out cheap, but every good game that I have played required an extra special controller that was included with the game at a higher price. It also only focuses on cartoon characters, back in the day there was the original Metal Gear for Nintendo. It would be great to have that on the Wii, but you cant mix Snakes and Mii's.
